NASA GSFC’s Role on the Mission
NASA Goddard leads the design and assembly of one of IMAP’s 10 instruments, High-energy Ion Telescope (HIT). They also provided thermal testing for the IMAP spacecraft after the propulsion system was added. Following the integration of IMAP’s 10 instruments, various other subsystems and components to the spacecraft structure, and the testing campaign, the spacecraft will return to GSFC to finish environmental testing before launch.
Goddard also contributes to the mission leadership through one of the two IMAP Deputy Principal Investigators.
The Heliophysics Program Office at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP) Program for the Heliophysics Division of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Learn more on the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center website.
